Research direction
Reproduce the examples in VS Code using the PowerShell syntax-highlighting support, comparing cases where the colon is followed by /, -, or @ with the plain colon case. Inspect the syntax grammar or entry point responsible for variable highlighting; done means the colon remains associated with $ip in all shown examples.

Description
Environment
- Editor and Version (VS Code, Atom, Sublime): vscode 1.42.0-insiders
- Your primary theme: Monokai
Issue Description
From my tests, this seems to only happen if the colon is followed by some sort of special character such as - @ / etc
Screenshots
Expected Behavior
It should parse correctly, like this (taken from windows powershell). Notice that the colon is green, since it "belongs" to the variable:
Code Samples
$ip = "192.1.1.1"
###not being parsed###
"pi@$ip:/home/pi/PowerShell_IoT/"
"pi@$ip:-home/pi/PowerShell_IoT/"
"pi@$ip:@home/pi/PowerShell_IoT/"
###parsed correctly when without special characters###
"pi@$ip:home/pi/PowerShell_IoT/"
###correct syntax###
"pi@$ip`:/home/pi/PowerShell_IoT/"```
